At night, Gwenda kept wondering if she should tell Olivier about agreeing to Melanie's two-day vacation trip.
The old lady had not mentioned Olivier on the phone, so Gwenda did not know what Melanie was thinking about in regards to her grandson.
Was it really just the two of them going on vacation tomorrow?
Or would Olivier go as well?
Gwenda wanted to know, but she did not dare reach out voluntarily to ask Olivier about this.
What if it was just going to be Melanie and her? What if Olivier insisted on going as well the moment she asked him? Although Gwenda was not opposed to Olivier's attendance, she felt that it would not be decent of her to ask like that...
Just like that, Gwenda spent the entire night thinking about this matter. Even when she dreamed, she was thinking about it too.
As a result, she did not sleep well that night.
The next morning, she woke up with dark circles under her eyes. After going through her morning ablutions, she packed her luggage and left her apartment.
Melanie had said that she would send someone to pick her up, but Gwenda did not know if that person had arrived.
She then took the lift down to the first floor.
The moment she walked out of the stairwell, she saw a familiar figure.
"Morning!"
Olivier was leaning lazily against his car. Upon seeing her, he smiled and greeted her.
The early morning rays of the sun seemed to have plated his handsome face with a soft layer of light. It made him look less cold and more gentle.
Coupled with the white T-shirt and denim jeans that he wore today, he looked as if he was a university student of the same age as Gwenda.
Gwenda could not help but stare blankly at him.
She had never seen him dressed like this.
It looked as if his maturity had receded some and gave way to a sunny disposition.
"Like what you see?"
She did not know when Olivier had gone to stand in front of her.
Abruptly returning to her senses, Gwenda felt his cool breath wafting over her face and blushed, her heart beginning to pound.
"Why are you here?"
"Granny asked me to pick you up."
Olivier stuffed his hands into his pockets while he stood before Gwenda, blocking off the sun behind him and keeping her in shadow.
"So... you'll be going with us today?"
